About Penta Tequila
In 2015, Steve Reynolds, winemaker at Reynolds Family Winery in Napa, C.A. and Executive Producer of Agave: Spirit of a Nation, along with Mark Davidowski(owner of Vangone Estate and founder of Meritage Wine Market), Shawn Gutterson (founder of Freedom Estate Wine), Ron Davidowski(founder of Vangone Vineyards, a Napa vineyard growing Bordeaux varietal grapes and previous owner of Meritage Wine Market), and Sean Tomas (founder of Thomas Knoll Winery, a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon producer) - all tequila-obsessed friends in Napa’s wine business joined together with the goal of creating ultra-premium tequilas using winemaking techniques, not typically used in the tequila making process.
The name “Penta” meaning “five” in spanish pays homage to five friends, the five noble grapes of the wine world, as well as the blend of 100% agave sourced from all 5 states that can legally produce Tequila in Mexico.
